Dear Mr. Corsi:

It's well-known and well-established that you've produced a highly-specious and laughable farce of "investigative journalism" whose purpose and intent is to undermine the Presidential campaign of Democratic candidate Senator Barack Obama by questioning his racial, religious and moral fitness against various "tests" lacking any serious credibility.

However, it's emerged that you've also published attacks in the "swift boat" vein against Republican Presidential candidate John McCain, howbeit during the primary season (in case you've forgotten about them by deliberate ignorance or otherwise, may I refresh your memory) by making equally specious claims against Senator McCain such as those suggesting that:

• McCain's fortune has direct connexions to criminal syndicates;
• the McCain Presidential campaign is receiving substantial support from al-Qaeda-affiliated organisations;
• Mcain is secretly receiving money from George Soros;
• McCain has serious credibility problems vis-a-vis lobbyists; and
• McCain's advancing a "Mexico First" agenda on international trade.

Which, in either case, is lacking any semblance of substantiation, let alone credibility.

And, IIRC, said atacks are designed (by your own admission) to serve the campaign of the Constitution Party's Presidential candidate, Mr. Charles (Chuck) Baldwin by name.

The fact of which, and the interconnexions thus raised, raises some serious questions which we Right-Thinking Americans want to ask of you:

• What assurances have we that your claims are sincere, genuine and in good faith, knowing (un)consciously all the while that these same claims you present as authentic are false or misleading?
• How do we know that your sources don't include certain weird and/or unwholesome types whose credibility is traditionally regarded as dubious or suspicious, among them:
• alcoholics?
• drug addicts?
• chronic spendthrifts and gamblers?
• those with known police records?
• sex fiends and maniacs?
• those with histories of mental and/or emotional disorders?
• racists, white-supremacists and bigots?
• veterans with Bad Conduct, Dishonourable, Less than Honourable or Section 8 discharges from the military?
• Have you done any careful and cautious background checks on your sources for the sake of credibility? If not, what prevents you from so doing--were you "only following orders" not to question their credibility, and accept their stories @ face value without question or reservation?
• What prevents your conducting careful and thorough research and cross-checking of claims made in these works prior to publication, online or otherwise, including careful and thorough substantiation from @ least two independent and impartial sources?
• Did you offer your sources any consideration, in cash or in kind, to supply such information, knowing full well their credibilty cannot be challenged because you were "following orders"? If so, what was offered, how was such paid, and were they instructed to keep the details quiet?
• Is the Constitution Party and/or the Chuck Baldwin Presidential campaign paying you to advance these rather incredulous (absent credible substantiation) attacks? If so, how much? How often were you paid? In what forms?
• Are your paymasters in the Constitution Party and/or the Baldwin Presidential campaign (if such be the case) asking you to keep quiet about any and all payments for the sake of advancing these unsubstantiated smears and attacks? What reasons are they giving you for such silence?
• Who exactly are these paymasters with the Constitution Party and/or the Baldwin Presidential campaign as are asking you to smear Barack Obama and John McCain for the sake of the Constitution Party's efforts and endeavours?
• Are you now, or have you ever been:
• an alcoholic?
• a drug addict?
• a gambler?
• a chronic and habitual spendthrift?
• a spousal and/or child abuser?
• a sex fiend, degenerate or maniac?
• a coprophile (in the sense of being addicted to pornographic or otherwise obscene materials)?
• a sufferer of a loathsome mental or emotional disease or disorder?
• a sufferer from veneral disease?
• known to the police (in other words, had a police record)?
• on probation or served time in prisons or mental institutions?
• discharged from the military on a Bad Conduct, Dishonourable, Less Than Honourable or Section 8 such?
• unemployable for extended periods for reasons other than because of illness, incapacity or disability?
• a card-carrying member of a known and notorious subversive or otherwise conspiratorial organisation(s)?
• Have you no sense of Decency, Sir, @ long last?
• Have you left no sense of Decency (let alone Morality)?
• What stands in the way of your providing clear, honest and logical answers to the preceding? Money?

We are entitled to an explanation of these issues thus raised, and based solely on facts rather than on carefully-scripted and -manufactured bromides and platitudes such as you're probably being advised to use. Until then, we cannot expect to reagrd your claims as authentic, credible or sincere.

sincerely,
ILUDIUM PHOSDEX
